If you feel squicked out looking at a lotus pod or dread seeing a boat covered in barnacles, then congrats, you’re experiencing the maybe-real sensation of trypophobia. It’s one of the phobias coined on the Internet, a fear or unease seeing dense clusters of holes. Perhaps you encountered this with ye olde Photoshopped image of a breast with lotus pod holes.

Another Guardian replied, “I was so happy for this armor when they revealed it but they definitely did not showcase how many gross holes would be it each set! Nope nope nope.” One said the cape “gives me the heebie jeebies”. Another added “I legit got shivers from that cloak.” Though one scamp said, “I’m actually considering wearing it to creep people out.”

It’s a similar storyon Destiny’s fashion board, though with a thread containing some graphic images to startle folks. “I was literally just talking to a clan mate about it today. We both hate it,” one Guardian said in reply. “It makes us feel really uncomfortable and we will never use it.”
